Re: Cricket fred
That run out was schoolboy cricket. Totally unnecessary and unforgiveable.
I've now gone from finding Pieterson a bit irritating in the comm box to finding him utterly unbearable. I simply cannot listen to him.

totally- KP is just a complete ar5se. Me me me, gibberish, soundbite, me....its like the parody twitter feed that used to exist. No wonder he was unpopular in the dressing room. Compare to Sangakkarra who is soo classy.fivepointer wrote:That run out was schoolboy cricket. Totally unnecessary and unforgiveable.

Thrilling win. Didnt fancy us at 109-3 but Root and Bairstow were just superb. They made a very demanding task look pretty straightforward.

Biggest run-chase success ever for Eng ?and pretty easy too in the end.
Astonishing turn-round by Eng. team...and secure a drawn series v Ind.

Re: Cricket fred
not sure why Jadeja didn't bowl earlier. The best bit is Kohli's face at all times today, after being such an enormous knob yesterday. He's become like one of those footie midfielders passed their sell by date, all they can do is run around committing fouls, looking cross and abusing people....see Roy Keane and Graeme Souness.fivepointer wrote:Thrilling win.

Re: Cricket fred
Ouch. Very poor start for Buttler. But then Root, Bairstow and Stokes hardly helped much today. Our one day bowling looks very poor without Archer, Wood, Rashid or Woakes tbh. Which suppose is fair enough.

Re: Cricket fred
Bit of a surprise, but maybe not.
Eng will struggle even more to match past glory without him.
Excessive demands on players in many sports now will surely lead to more stepping off/on the bus.

Re: Cricket fred
He’s also not playing The Hundred this year which, given I have season tickets, is a bit of a bummer.

I reckon we will be ok without him, wonder if he'll IPL it though. We need to get our one day bowlers back, the batting is having an odd blip against a very good Indian OD attack.Galfon wrote:Bit of a surprise, but maybe not.

Can't see gung-ho Eng getting 400 or so over next 2 days to make things more comfortable, though with the new-found inspiration who knows!.
eta- not this time, pretty comprehensive.

Re: Cricket fred
so our response to being rolled over twice is to drop a promising quick. Not sure how Crawley survives tbh; tail is also way too long with Broad at 8.

Proper batting today from Stokes & Foakes. Sets us up nicely after the bowlers efforts.

Re: Cricket fred
good bowling, brave batting. Van der Dussen should have gone tho, nicked one but no appeal.
